A pink flash zoomed across the night. One of Paris' heroes was out!
Jewel Beetle wore a pink suit with lighter pink marks. A pink hair clip as a miraculous and a pink mask covers her eyes. Antennas were over her braided hair, they were pink, of course. Tiny orange wings fluttered as she hopped over the city's roofs. In her hands were a pink staff and a shield that looked like her miraculous.
Why was the pink superhero out with no akuma to be seen?
To continue the best kept secret in all of Paris! Even better kept than the fact that the daughter of the mayor, Chloe, dyes her hair.
Jewel was going to meet the Evillustrator. The akuma turned henchman did random crimes for what seemed like no reason, but that wasn't the reason she was going to meet him.
The beetle remembered her first time meeting the villain. It was really less than ideal circumstances. She needed to clear her head, so she went on patrol…
Flashback
Jewel Beetle was new to the crime fighting scene. She usually only fought minor criminals, like robbers or muggers, and no akumas. As she was a miraculous holder she did meet Chat Noir and Ladybug, but they thought that she should get used to fighting small crimes until she fought supervillains. Jewel agreed.
Of course, since she didn't leave a name when she sent the knocked out criminals to the police station, she wasn't well known. Well, other than the newspapers calling her an unknown vigilante. The pink hero hoped she would be able to fight alongside the famous heroes.
She last defeated two robbers from stealing from a jewelry store. When she saw them they were holding a pink necklace, oh the irony. But, that was yesterday and she needed to get away from the piles of homework she had.
Maybe she could find Ladybug and ask if she was ready to fight the akumas! So, Jewel Beetle set out on patrol at 10 at night.
If only she was more careful. She usually tried to be inconspicuous, but she wanted one of the heroes to see her. She never thought a villain would see her.
When she flew over the Louvre a box appeared over her. She smacked right into the clear box and she attacked it with her staff.
"Great, I'm stuck in a Lego box!" She groaned, the box did look like the clear Legos. "What!"
Her staff and shield started to disappear, like they were being erased. An invisible line slashed across them until they were both completely gone.
Jewel looked around. What is going on? Where did her weapons go? And most importantly, what is going on?
Suddenly, a person appeared in front of the pink hero. He had purple skin, red hair, a weird outfit, and an iPad with a pen. An akuma!
Jewel Beetle glared at the villain, even though she was freaking out inside.
"Where are my weapons?" She growled.
"Why do you look different, Ladybug?" The purple man asked.
Ladybug? It was dark, did he seriously think Jewel was the other hero? Her pink suit might look slightly red in the dark, but she had no spots! That would be why he would ask why she looked different."
"I thought akumas were supposed to be smart," she laughed, she decided to go the mean route to figure out who he was, "I'm not Ladybug, you idiot! Now, where are my weapons!"
"I don't think I have to answer your questions," he walked around the cage/box, "you're the one that is trapped. Who are you?"
"Jewel Beetle, not nice to meet you. Where are my weapons?" She kept repeating the same words.
"Are you a miraculous holder?" He asked curiously.
"That's like asking if you're an akuma," this guy was annoying, "where are my weapons?"
The akuma ignored the question again, "well, Hawkmoth doesn't need your miraculous, so I can let you go. Bye, bye, little bug!"
He drew something on his tablet and a square appeared and he stepped on it. It started to float away with the akuma on it.
When he was about twenty feet away, the box trapping Jewel Beetle disappeared. She screamed one more thing at the purple man.
"Who are you!"
Even as he got farther away she could see the smirk he had on his face, "I thought superheroes were supposed to be smart."
With that, he left. Jewel Beetle went back to her home and hoped he wouldn't cause much trouble. After all, she couldn't fight without her weapons and she needed for her kwami to reenergize.
Flashback ended
The days after that were weird. The pink hero was finally able to fight akumas, her first one being H2Ocean, but something changed. The boy with purple skin was there at every attack trying to thwart them.
Ladybug told her that he looked like an akuma that they have fought before, the Evillustrator. The red hero said he was a student from a school, but he was purified. The three heroes didn't know who the villain was.
He couldn't be an akuma, since they were already fighting other akumas, and he was obviously working with Hawkmoth. The heroes concluded that he might have part of an akuma in him, so he could transform at will. That means there's no way for him to be purified.
Jewel made it her personal mission to stop Evillustrator each time he attacked. She remembered a day when after an akuma battle she didn't need to use her power, so she didn't have to detransform, and she was cornered by the red head…
Flashback
Jewel Beetle had her back up against a brick wall in an alley. Evillustrator had cornered her for some reason. He said the first time he met her he said that he didn't need her miraculous.
"What do you want?" She growled at the artist, "change your mind about my miraculous?"
"I-I," he stuttered.
He STUTTERED!
This guy never stuttered. From what Jewel saw of him he was confidant, a jerk, but confidant.
"Spit it out!"
"I wanted to apologize," he looked down, sad.
Something was up. This was a villain. A cruel, heartless villain. The beetle hero told herself this multiple times, it's how she copes with having to beat him up.
"Then apologize," she said ready for him to attack. He had to be luring her into a false since of comfort.
"I'm sorry for hurting you today," Evillustrator said quietly.
What!? He was apologizing for accidently hitting her on the leg by a ball. It barley hurt, and he was apologizing!
"Apology accepted, now get out of my way," she tried to jump over him to fly with her orange wings, when he grabbed her.
He stopped her from flying off and then he kissed her! Not on the cheek, either, on the lips.
Jewel pulled away, but not after slapping the villain, and flew off with no resistance.
She heard Evillustrator whisper, "bye, bye, little bug," he said it sweeter than all the other times he said it.
When Jewel got home she sat for a bit wondering. Why did he kiss her? Why did he kiss her? Why did he kiss her?
Why did she like it?
Flashback ended
After that day, things changed. Somehow, Jewel was always the one to catch Evillustrator when he did small random crimes, but she never had the heart to turn him in. She just stopped him from doing the crimes and returning something if he was stealing.
Evillustrator, during akuma attacks, was more gentle to her. Only Jewel notice this, Chat Noir and Ladybug's focus wasn't on the side villain, but the real akuma.
The two ended up alone a couple of times. The first time after the encounter he apologized for the kiss and he was blushing!
Jewel Beetle slowly got used to these random encounters. They talked a bit, because outside of akumas and the occasional crime, they were not enemies.
On one day, Jewel found herself laughing to a joke he told her. She quickly realized and stopped. She then found herself blushing!
Another day later, Evillustrator confessed to her. He said he like her and that's why he kissed her that day. The pink hero tried to push her away her own feelings, but she couldn't hold it in.
Why did she fall in love with a villain?
